Awe-Inspiring Shamelessness
Michael Gove fails the test
“It’s terrible,” Michael Gove oozed to Laura Kuenssberg, as on the screen next to him drunken Tories were shown dancing and falling over during a strictly necessary Christmas lockdown work event. He was shocked and appalled at the sight of people breaking the restrictions their own government had imposed on the rest of us. “On a personal level I would like to apologise to people for this behaviour. It is unacceptable and indefensible.”
Although, to be clear, Gove would definitely defend it if asked.
A bonus Sunday sketch, written on the train south from Durham this morning after watching Michael Gove explain that sometimes, a man has to stand neutral between right and wrong.
And if you want a film recommendation, here’s my piece from last month’s mag on Sisu, quite the funniest piece of WW2 ultraviolence I’ve seen in some time. A friend tells me the Swedes say of the Finns that “they know how to be silent in two languages”.
